depends on what you mean by "working". a) the sid machine is your primary computer, where you do all kind of things (not only "packaging"); in this case, a broken X system will drop your productivity towards zero (if you are like me :-), so you can as well dedicate more of your now-free time to get a running system again. btw, i often found such problem to be a combination of upgraded kernel vs incompatible/non-upgraded gfx-driver (e.g. i have a system with a rather old nvidia card using the proprietary (shudder) drivers, which i found to be incompatible with linux-3.13; so i just downgraded to 3.12 for now (and consider switching to nouveau...) b) you have a nicely running system, only your packaging environment has a broken X. in my personal workflow, this would not be a problem, as all of my packaging tools do not require X at all. (obviously things are a bit different if you are packaging an X-related application and want to *test* whether everything works as expected after doing the packaging). if that system is *only* for packaging, you might just re-install the entire thing (preferably in a VM :-) fgamsdr IOhannes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Icedove - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJTcHaVAAoJELZQGcR/ejb41j4QAIt1j9fjoQVjSqZphhy7E7QW Lu2ashlx8oNZ6IhJEBMBtqQ7Jrnx5sbvHGqgsXNLZkxdZ8ZY1Ppd7po5BjQ6oLKZ k8j/miD2cHsP1dhsKGkPt8l+uId7nMzuxlCq8fLD0Z7fVbNVgqmL1fMPEZAbbecU wNihIL/kcHLjacfCdnJj4hCRxu46c8rc+hQL1D0AG3c3qHFc2LbgoI+2r6fWORKi 0SqtxqoPvYTdxPtP1VzMfZhQHNUyQhiD3sYI4vYYGa0SaDkrhZ/It3xkRo84LNnX /BfQ2UdPk7xHppESYg1KQ9V1pcHvNnQAiukNnSZLEjKfuuVMYDyFgVlz/Kf/4u7r 3trge66ewjBEisKw76xQWD/t3VUteKMyuuLCzBumXLRnz0WnA6BdFEw7Fy6VSRDt EHGXyBrHx3GU8vbbRhDfkJVZtK2rdXJoeqDqaeLVfC3E5uPUc0mx1eROly4c09y1 ymwjIk4GwGhIC+BOtLe/cZS+ANUsxIBS79qfg7F6nEZKo5ZdcWMbZRwJ0eicl95u HA0j7B5rhhTir5PFFVN7tMl/8tibzTyTfbxDMDbROxrv0+y6YpUha1PtcKENbH1A PnmJkimE2LPlL4+3sauXEVesP/IVbGBoVamQqovTHE0mtCDQJPbMm+5+u22ONxbS ACkWfGjUplbqnIK257IB =U8AC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
